A member asked:

How can i treat estrogen dominance? bcp don't really help me. can i try progesterone creams or supplements and which ones should i try?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Is this a problem?: Estrogen dominance in the face of normal menstrual cycles is NOT a medical problem that requires treatment. If your periods are irregular or prolonged, then see a GYN MD and find out why and if treatment is needed it will be medically supervised.
